Cauliflower Pizza

Pizza with Cauliflower Crust

• 1 cup cooked, riced cauliflower
• 3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1/2 tsp crushed garlic
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• Olive oil (optional)
• Pizza sauce
• Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• Other additional toppings of your choice

To rice your cauliflower, take 1 large head of cauliflower, remove the stems and leaves, and chop the florets into chunks. Add to a food processor and pulse just until it looks like rice. Alternatively, you can grate the cauliflower with a cheese grater. Place the riced cauliflower in a microwave safe bowl, add 1/4 cup water, and microwave for 6-8 minutes, stirring half-way through.
To make the pizza, preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a pizza pan or cookie sheet with non-stick cooking spray.

In a medium bowl, combine the cauliflower, mozzarella cheese and egg together and stir until well incorporated. Add the oregano, garlic, and garlic powder. Transfer to the cookie sheet, and shape into a 9-inch circle. Brush the crust with olive oil to help it brown in the oven.Bake at 450 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 minutes, until the crust is browned and cooked through the middle.

Remove the crust from the oven, add your sauce and toppings. Place under a broiler at high heat until the cheese is melted and bubbly (about 3-4 minutes).

I made up the crust on a Sunday night and placed the "dough" in a bowl overnight. I sprayed the pan and formed my pizza and baked as directed and it was awesome!!! You have to try this recipe!
